Chocolate macarons that are gluten-free and vegan and are filled with a creamy mint chocolate chip frosting.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup aquafaba liquid from canned chickpeas
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1/2 cup vegan chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup coconut cream
• 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 1/4 cup finely chopped vegan chocolate or chocolate chips

Instructions:

Warm the oven up to 300F 150C and put parchment paper on a baking sheet

Put the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and almond flour in a bowl and mix them together using a sieve

Mix the aquafaba, sugar, vanilla extract, and cream of tartar in a different bowl and beat them together until stiff peaks form

Mix the dry ingredients into the aquafaba mixture slowly until they are just combined

Put the batter in a piping bag with a round tip, and then use the bag to pipe small circles onto the baking sheet that has been prepared

The macarons should be left at room temperature for 30 minutes after being put on the baking sheet

Tap it on the counter to get rid of any air bubbles

Let the macarons cool on the baking sheet for 15 to 18 minutes after you take them out of the oven

First melt the chocolate chips and coconut cream together

Then add the peppermint extract and mix it in

Allow the frosting to cool and get a little thicker

Then, spread it on half of the macarons and put the other halves between them

Use the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate to cover the edges of the macarons

Put the macarons in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before you serve them
